Owner description: The Conservatory's Arid Dome houses a fine collection of cacti; the Tropical Dome features plants from the rainforest and the Floral Show Dome hosts a number of changing themed blossom displays throughout the year.

We decided to go to the Domes on Sunday morning, hoping that it wouldn't be too crowded. We were correct, and got to enjoy the Domes in relative quiet and at our own leasuirely pace. The three different Domes are unique and could be enjoyed by anyone who appreciates nature. It was easy to get around once we were inside, very clean, and well kept.

I would schedule about an hour from start to finish, and try to go during an off-peak time. The aisles are pretty narrow, and the Domes echo so I could imagine during busy times it would feel very clausterphobic. As we drove away, we discussed returning during the Christmas season.

It wasn't what I expected. I expected a lot bigger and more prettier things in each of the domes. Maybe it was the time of year that I went, but nothing was jaw dropping... I will say that the desert dome was probably thee best out of the three.

“Great displays”

Reviewed April 16, 2013

This conservatory has 3 eco-systems with very interesting & spectacular plants in each area. We went at Christmas for the special display & it was great. If you're looking for a place to go when it is cold or bad weather outside, this place will brighten your spirits.
